I woke up on the floor,
Found I'd fallen out of bed.
The Pentagrams on the radio,
Suggest I'm better off dead.
I shine the obsidian mirror,
Don't recognize what I see.
What is that ghastly visage,
Staring back at me?
Outside on the street,
The sky a deep blue tease.
But I've got this ominous feeling,
Like the Sword of Damocles.
The American in the newsboy hat,
Attacks me with its eyes.
But if it takes a step too close,
I'll give it an unpleasant surprise.
I can't stop these thoughts inside my head.
They pulsate, fill my heart and soul with dread.
I can't keep these thoughts outside my head.
They pulsate, fill my heart and soul with dread.
Maybe I've just simply lost my mind...
I ran around the corner,
Donning a fresh disguise.
Averting eyes from TV screens,
The feeding trough of lies.
But this is all not happening,
It's all inside my brain.
American Gothic Horror Stories,
Driving me insane!
I can't stop these thoughts inside my head.
They pulsate, fill my heart and soul with dread.
I can't keep these thoughts outside my head.
They pulsate, fill my heart and soul with dread.
Maybe I've just simply lost my mind...

Swan Song for Faust

I figured it out,
I figured it out,
I found my last minute prize.
I've lost my way,
I've lost my way,
I've halted my Memphitic rise.
And what have I gained?
And what have I learned?
Happiness feigned.
When's it my turn?
What profit to a man,
If he gains the whole world,
And loses his immortal soul?
I traded all in,
I traded all in,
For my Luciferian Politic Design.
And now it's all gone,
This dream is all gone,
A hundred thousand years left behind.
And what have I gained?
And what have I learned?
Happiness feigned.
When's it my turn?
What profit to a man,
If he gains the whole world,
And loses his immortal soul?
(Matthew 16:26)
